When he heard the sound of a door opening in the house behind him, his expression suddenly became panicked, like a frightened bird.
After seeing who was coming, they breathed a sigh of relief. Neither of the two siblings was in the mood to pay attention to Hua Shi, and they frowned worriedly.
"I'll go find my second brother, you stay in the house and look after Xiaoying." Hua Xiao frowned and thought for a long time before saying so.
Hua Li pursed her lips and said anxiously, "No, I'll go with you to find it."
The village is so big that if you really want to look for it, you may not be able to find it even if you go to look for it until dawn.
Hua Xiao shook her head, turned to look at the house in the corner, and said, "Xiaoying needs someone to watch her, otherwise she will cry."
Hua Shi followed Hua Xiao's gaze towards the room where they slept, and vaguely saw a small figure huddled behind the door frame, peeking out...
Hua Li puffed out her chest and said, "You take care of Xiaoying, I'll go find my second brother."
Hua Xiao disagreed with him, "I'm the older sister, I should go..."
Hua Shi watched helplessly as the two eight-year-old kids frowned seriously and started arguing with each other.
"Stop arguing. No one needs to go. Just wait at home." Hua Shi walked over and patted their shoulders, one by one.
Two kids were going to look for someone in the dark. Without any lights or fire, if they didn't pay attention to the road, they might fall into the pond or the river and drown without anyone knowing.
What's more, the village is so big, and it is unrealistic for a child to wander around looking for someone, like looking for a needle in a haystack.
It's too dangerous. It's better to wait at home.
She estimated that it was only around seven or eight o'clock, not too late, so she would wait a little longer. If Hua Yu hadn't come back after a while, she would go to the village to call people and they would all look for him together.
Two kids fighting to find it, what a big deal...
Hua Xiao raised his head and glared at her, "What's it got to do with you?"
Hua Shi was about to speak when she suddenly heard the sound of dogs barking in the alley, which became louder and louder, and she could faintly hear the sound of footsteps mixed in with it...
Hua Shi raised his hand, pressed his lips, and whispered, "Shh...it seems like he's back."
Hua Xiao and Hua Li turned their heads and looked towards the courtyard gate.
Sure enough, after hearing a series of rustling footsteps, there was a light knock on the wooden door at the entrance of the courtyard...
Hua Xiaofei ran over, not daring to use force, and gently moved the latch and opened the door.
“Second brother!”
Hua Xiao screamed, and looking at Hua Yu, who was soaked all over, with bruises on the corners of his mouth, breathing heavily, and in a miserable state, her eyes turned red and tears flowed down her face.
Hua Li, who was following behind, ran over to help Hua Yu and walked carefully into the yard.
Hua Li looked panicked and asked in a low voice, "Second brother, what's wrong with you?"
Hua Yu was supported by Hua Xiao and Hua Li, one on each side, as they came in.
When he could see the flowers standing under the eaves clearly in the faint moonlight, he suddenly pulled the corners of his mouth, his dark eyes flickered, and he said word by word,
"I'm fine..."
